Entertainer of the Year: Kenny Chesney - a make up from last year when Keith Urban won this award and many thought Kenny was robbed. This year I think Rascall Flatts was robbed.
Male Vocalist: Keith Urban - a deserving winner, but you have to wonder when Brad Paisley will finally win in this category.
Female Vocalist: Carrie Underwood - absolutely the best female singer of the year
Horizon Award: Carrie Underwood - see above
Album: "Time Well Wasted," Brad Paisley. - great album, great choice
Single: "Believe," Brooks & Dunn - inspiring song with a vocal performance by Ronnie Dunn that seperated it from the competition.
Song: "Believe," Craig Wiseman and Ronnie Dunn - this award goes to the songwriters and the words are powerful
Vocal Group: Rascal Flatts - a no brainer, with a hit tour, singles, album, and movie theme - they deserved even higher accolades.
Vocal Duo: Brooks & Dunn - how about we present this award before the show - it's been the same result for a while now.
Musical Event: "When I Get Where I'm Going," Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton - "Believe" stole the thunder that this song would have won any other year, so it's a good thing it won here.
Music Video: "Believe," Brooks & Dunn - surprising to me, the song is great, but the video didn't really contribute to its success.
